Tuesday and Wednesday in Cancun

Tuesday David and I did a short workout in the gym there.  It felt good to get a good sweat on.  And boy is it hard to workout in that humidity!  I think I would take high altitude over humidity any day!  David had a meeting on the phone that took up the rest of his morning.  So while he was doing business stuff I went down to the beach and soaked up the sun.  I walked the beach and just enjoyed it.  When David finished up we ate lunch by the pool and then we went down my the beach some more.  They had 3 different little snack shacks to choose from by the pool.  One was mexican food, one was sushi and one was a mixture of tacos, burgers, etc.  It was nice to have different options other than the buffet which we tried to avoid other than breakfast.  We liked the fresh omelets every morning!

After being at the beach all morning and early afternoon, we changed our clothes and took the bus to the mall about a mile away.  It was a really high end mall, definitely catered to tourists!  We went to the movie “Thor 2” and watched the 3D version.  Then we walked down to “The Outback” Restaurant for dinner.  I think we were ready for “real” American food!

Wednesday we once again went down to the beach and enjoyed it!  Every morning it was already so hot!  Then we went to Market 28 in downtown Cancun.  We rode the bus for about 30 mins.

It was quite the experience!  David had fun speaking Spanish and bartering back and forth to buy things.  We heard “High spender, come over here!”  a lot!  We even had a battle between two restaurants, each one showing us their menu, trying to get us to eat at their place.  It was quite comical!

We came home with 3 of these bracelets, green, purple and white, a wooden mask for David’s parents, a jaguar face made out of wood, wood bow and arrows for the boys, necklaces and toy tops for the girls.  It was a fun time!  Since it was dark we took a taxi from the market to the bus stop. and headed back to the hotel.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
